dent Hadden, OF the Taxing Distric,
who found some men at work digging
up the street for the purpose OF ex-
tending the Hernando street railway

do away with the one switch track at

the men TO out work at once, which
they did, and the result was that the
President OF the Taxing District aud
Mr.. Napoleon Hill, Of the Citizens

understands 1t otherwise. The matter
will probably be settled today, 1t not
being matter of any importance ex-
cept to the street railway company
and its passengers, who often have to
be kept a considerable length Of time
at the switching point to await a down
or mn coming car
